How to backup and restore Windows 11 for free?

Sorry to keep mentioning WinPE, this can all be done with a few commands. Capture the partition to a WIM file and append as needed, where only the difference is added to the WIM as a new "Index". Mount the indexed version when needed to recover individual files or apply the WIM to a new disk.

Lots of resources on MS Learn or happy to put together a guide.

This was you're not tied to any software and stuck when it's no longer supported or free.

I read your previous response having never done or see that before, was unsure on how that worked. I'll definitely have a read though as not being tied to software is much better.

I'll only need to image 2 drives and both have one partition on them. I can't imagine needing to restore them, this is purely for backup of any files I missed before formatting.

I'll put something together later today, or by tomorrow evening.
